I'm developing a sinatra app, and I'd like to test it using cucumber and watir. My problem is that I'm not sure how to set up my env.rb file to run the sinatra app, all the examples I've found use webrat or capybara or something else that isn't watir. Is there a way to start my sinatra app from cucumber without using webrat or another testing framework that isn't watir, or should I just start my sinatra app manually before running my tests?

env.rb executes an arbitrary Ruby code as a part of Cucumber setup, so you should be able to start your app or do whatever else you need. Try:
require 'YourApp'
Having said that, it might not be the most logical place to do. An automated build cycle for a web app usually consists of the following steps:
 1. Build: compile, copy necessary files, package a binary, etc.
 2. Run unit tests
 3. Deploy: put the application on a target server
 4. Run integration/feature tests
Cucumber and Watir are all about Step 4; therefore, env.rb usually starts a browser. What you are trying to do belongs logically in Step 3, IMHO.

If both parents names are on your birth certificate and they are not married, can you carry both their surnames putting your father's first and mother's surname last on your ID card?
If you are applying for your first National ID card and your parents were unmarried at the time of your birth you can have both their surnames placed on your card as your surname, provided that you can show proof that either;
(1) you have used the name throughout your school life by way of a letter from the school or examination certificate (s) or
(2) show other form of ID such as a Passport.
However if you already are in possession of a valid National ID card under either parents surname but you wish to now carry both surnames on your ID, a Protocol of Deed or Deed Poll is required.

The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), over the weekend, hinted that arrangements have been perfected to dredge River Niger, just as the removal of wrecks and other hindrances across the waterways in the country will commence soon.
On the Lagos inland waterways alone, no fewer than five wrecks are planned to be removed during the exercise. Besides, NIWA will also be licensing no fewer than 2,200 boats and training 1,500 Skippers before the end of 2024.
Speaking with journalists in Lagos, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NIWA, Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji explained that Lagos, being the hub of inland waterways activities in Nigeria, has already seen the deployment of five patrol boats to monitor activities on the state waterways.
According to Oyebamiji, "One of the targets I gave the area managers when I resumed was increasing the number of navigable waterways that we currently have in this country. "Nigeria has about 10,000km of waterways in this country, but anytime you search via Google, you will always find out that only 3,000km are navigable.
I have targeted the Area Managers to increase navigable waterways in Nigeria from 3,000km to 5,000km. This means that as part of the deliverables that I gave the Area Managers, NIWA has to dredge an additional 2,000km of waterways to meet the target of 5,000km of navigable inland waterways. We plan to carry out a major dredging operation across the River Niger.
"Also, another target I gave the Area Managers is tied to the number of jetties that NIWA has. I asked them to give me the number of jetties that they want to add to what they already have. In the next four years, we need to know the number of jetties that we will want to build so that by 2027, we would have said that this number of jetties were built during this period.
"On the issue of wrecks, I gave each Area number of wrecks to remove. Lagos, being our busiest area, got a target of five wrecks to be removed yearly. The wreck removals will also cover other areas across the country. Again, on boat operations, I expect 2,200 boats to be licensed on a yearly basis in Lagos.
Also, I have charged the Lagos Area Managers to train and license 1,500 Skippers on a yearly basis. "So all these formed part of the targets that I gave to each Area Managers during our meetings for them to measure their performance in office on a yearly basis. This will let everybody have a sense of direction and know what they are expected to do, "NIWA boss hinted.
Commenting on the maintenance of physical presence on the Lagos waterways, Mr Oyebamiji revealed that five patrol boats had already been deployed across Lagos. "With the Supreme Court judgement, we cannot afford to have any lapses any longer. Going forward, we have deployed five patrol boats across the waterways in Lagos, being our busiest axis. We are scaling up plans on safety of life and security on our waterways.
Protecting activities on our waterways, going forward, is a priority. "One patrol boat has been taken to Badagry to cover that axis. Another has been taken to Badore; another one has been deployed at Ikorodu; another deployed at Ijegun while the last one is at Marina here.
The deployment of these patrol boats was strategic. Take for instance the choice of Ijegun. You know Badagry is far, so if anything happens along the waterways leading to Badagry before the patrol boat stationed in Badagry arrives, the one in Ijegun would have got there. "The patrol boats have been deployed along these axes to monitor waterways issues like overspeeding, overloading, and others.
The deployment of these patrol boats is just a way of increasing our presence on the waterways. "We have also installed a Gauge inside the water here in Marina. The Gauge gives us information about the wave movement. It monitors wave movement and gives us information on what to expect every day.
The Gauge has a range of monitoring from Marina to Badagry and Ikorodu. "We are also looking at deploying some boats in the Northern part of the country because accidents happen in this area due to the rickety boats that are used. We also want to have Water Marshals across the country. This is already in place in Lagos, but we want to replicate that nationwide,"Oyebamiji remarked.

I am using windows form for my application. I am loading another form on click of panel. Now I want to show sliding effect for opening and closing of form.I am able to add negative sliding effect while opening as form opens from right to left by overloading OnLoad event of form. But I am not able to hide the form with positive slide effect using AnimateWindow function. Is there any way to do this?
This is what I have used to show the form:
protected override void OnLoad(System.EventArgs e)
 NativeMethods.AnimateWindow(this.Handle, 500,

Using your existing pattern - OnClosing + AW_HIDE does it in reverse.
protected override void OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e)
 AnimateWindow(this.Handle, 500, AW_ACTIVATE | AW_SLIDE | AW_HOR_NEGATIVE | AW_HIDE);
share|improve this answer
Why don't use simply Form.Location property.
Increase or decrease it's relative values to achieve sliding animation effect you want.
share|improve this answer
This library might be able to do what you want.
Example code from the site, which could, in your case, be placed in the Closing event.
Transition t = new Transition(new TransitionType_EaseInEaseOut(2000));
t.add(pictureBox1, "Left", 300);
t.add(pictureBox1, "Top", 200);
Once you've done the animation, you can use the TransitionCompletedEvent event to hide the form. (or you could animate the Opacity property of your form)
public event EventHandler TransitionCompletedEvent;

2 runners(Alice, Bob) are running on the oval track at a constant speed. The tracklength is 200 meters.
First Alice ran with such low speed that Bob passed him every 2 minutes. To run faster than Bob, Alice sped up 2 times and now she is passing him every 6 minutes. What speed did Bob ran at in km/h?
How much was Bob faster than Alice at first speed?
1/30h is 2 minutes x km/h * 1/30h = 0.2km x = 6km/h
How much was Alice faster than Bob at second speed?
1/10h is 6 minutes 2x km/h * 1/10h = 0.2km x = 1km/h
Don't know how to create equation out of this.

First Farmers in the Red River Valley
Aboriginal people living on this site in the early 1400s used a wide range of food sources that included the cultivation and harvesting of corn. This represents the earliest known evidence of farming on the Canadian prairies, and the northernmost expressions of pre-European horticulture on the North American continent.
Major population growth between 100 and 1300 A.D. in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Iowa, followed by several decades of drought, led to the dispersal of local farming communities. People associated with these communities brought the knowledge of horticulture to the Red River Valley.
Archaeological investigations on this site in the 1980s unearthed charred corn kernels, hoes made from the shoulder-blades of bison, underground storage pits (some of which were up to 2 metres deep), and pottery styles that originated among the Native farming, cultures of the upper Mississippi and Missouri river valleys.

Does international patent collaboration have an effect on entrepreneurship?
Abstract.Entrepreneurship is one of the main pillars of growth in any economy. Achieving a high rate of entrepreneurship in a region has become the priority objective of governments and firms. However, in many cases, new firm creation is conditioned by relations or collaboration in innovation with agents from other countries. Previous literature has analyzed the mechanisms that foster entrepreneurship. This paper attempts to shed light on the influence of international patent collaboration (IPC) on entrepreneurial activity at country level taking into account the timing of this relationship. An empirical study is proposed to verify whether IPC leads to greater entrepreneurship and to analyze the gestation period between international patenting actions and firm creation. Using the Generalized Method of Moments, the two hypotheses proposed were tested in a data panel of 30 countries for the period 2005–2017. Results show the influence of IPC in promoting entrepreneurship in the same year, but especially in the following year. The study offers implications for entrepreneurs and public agents. IPC affects the integration and interaction of international agents in a country, favors the production of new knowledge, and increases positive externalities in a territory. All this facilitates the creation of new companies with a high innovative component.S


What are some examples of formal operational thought?
Quick Answer
An example of formal operational thought would be imagining the outcome of a particular action that has yet to be undertaken. Formal operational thought, in general, involves the ability to think in the abstract, the ability to combine and classify items and the ability to use high-order reasoning skills.

What are some examples of formal operational thought?

Full Answer
Formal operational thought is the type of cognitive activity that occurs within the titular formal operational stage as articulated by Piaget's theory of cognitive development. According to Piaget, the formal operational stage begins at around age eleven. Another example of formal operational thought would be reasoning through word problems, which involve coming to conclusions about hypothetical situations that involve abstractions of physical objects. A key element of the formal operational stage is the ability to make an inference. Someone in this stage of cognitive development should be able to draw conclusions about things they have not actually experienced by considering information presented to them.
Piaget used a test called the 'third eye problem' to determine one's full transformation into the formal operational stage. Piaget asked children where on their body they would put an extra eye and why. Children around nine years old typically answered that the third eye should be located on the forehead. However, children in the eleven year old range typically suggested that a third eye should be placed on the hand for seeing around corners. This answer characterizes the abstract thinking and reasoning which characterizes the formal operational stage.

Almost Jigless Bicycle Frame Building

I grew up on Legos and the Whole Earth Catalog. These days: bike builder, map maker, trail sleuth.
Intro: Almost Jigless Bicycle Frame Building
This Instructable shows some basic, simple tooling to help build a bicycle frame. It's aimed for someone building their first few frames who is unable to invest the time or money into a full framebuilding jig.
Step 1: Introduction
Every person who decides to build their first frame is faced with the question: "What do I use for a jig?"
Commercial jigs start at about $1600. For the beginner this could be a huge investment - the equivalent of many bicycles worth of tubing.
There is also the option of building a jig out of 8020, such as described in my Instructable here. However, the cost on this is also not trivial, probably $350-$500, and it does require some machining work that is outside of the common garage tools.
If you ask around on the internet, many people will tell you that you don't really even need a jig, you just need a flat surface and some sort of tooling to hold your tubes at a fixed height above the surface. This is quite true, but for some people using an old pool table or maybe a surface plate is not exactly convenient, due to the size and weight.
This design and method is what I developed over building my first 5 frames. It's compact and cheap, and works by giving you a system of 3 small orthogonal flat surfaces to work with, and several means of holding tubes at the right position while you tack them.
However, since this jig is compact, you can only work on one joint at a time. This is the standard way for beginners to build, as described in the Paterek Manual. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's essentially the beginning framebuilder's bible. You can purchase it from Paterek or Henry James. The main disadvantage on this is that you never see the complete picture of the frame until you tack in the last tube. You can't set it up and then have a sanity check where you can see if it all makes sense.
I no longer have this jig, having moved on to my 8020 design, so I had to reproduce everything in SketchUp. For the sake of speed, I didn't model everything exactly to scale or try to make everything look perfect. But it should get the idea across.
If this Instructable helps you out, you can always show your appreciation through my Amazon Wish List.
Speaking of books, you might also want to check out Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza. While it doesn't cover classical framebuilding like the Paterek Manual, it does have lots of good ideas for "low road" building.
The materials are simple steel structural shapes:
1" x 1/4" bar, about 6", though get a foot since you'll eventually use it.
4"x 3" angle iron, give or take an inch in either leg, about 7-8' total
1"x 1" angle iron, another foot or so
Old rear hub axle(s) or similarly sized threaded rod and nuts
Some bolts, about M5 x 40 or whatever you have taps for.
A couple of Welder's magnets, available from Harbor Freight for cheap.
For tools you'll need a hacksaw, a drill and bits, and a tap to match your bolts.
Step 2: Base
The base is just three pieces of the angle iron welded together. You have a main piece about 4' long that serves as the flat surface you will do most of your work on.
A smaller piece, about 2' long, is welded underneath it to form a sort of Z-profile. This piece is used to clamp the jig to the front of your workbench. If you want to bolt it to your workbench you can drill some mounting holes in it.
The final smallest piece is about 8" long as is welded perpendicular to the top piece. This gives three surfaces that are all orthogonal to each other. Measure with a machinist's square to make sure the angle is 90 degrees before you weld it!
Note: when I say "weld", this includes other joining techniques such as brazing, or even drilling and bolting/riveting.
Also shown in the picture are the dummy axle and a tube lift, which are described in the next two steps.
Step 3: The Dummy Axle
The dummy axle is just a piece of the steel bar with a hole drilled in it to accept and axle. The axle is held in place by nuts on each side (not shown). You can use axles, cones, and locknuts (both quick-release and solid) scavenged from old hubs, or use threaded rod and nuts.
Since the inside of the bar is on the same vertical plane as where the right end of the bottom bracket contacts the upright reference piece, you can use it as the reference for you axle locknut locations.
Looking at the dummy axle from the rear, your left locknut will be 34mm plus half of your hub width. The right side will be half of you hub width minus 34mm. This all assumes you are using a 68mm shell.
In use, the piece is just clamped to the angle iron with a C-clamp.
Since this is so simple, you might as well make a new one for each axle size.
Step 4: Tube Lifts
These simple tube lifts are one possible way of holding a tube the required distance from the surface plane. It is just made by welding the 1x1 angle iron back-to-back with another piece. They only need to be an inch or two long.
NOTE: Since this references the OD of the tube, you will need to make them for each size of tubing! The height of the lift will need to 34mm minus half of the tube diameter (assuming you're using a 68mm bottom bracket).
Clamp them together at the right height and give them a tack weld on each side. After in cools double-check that the height came out right. If one side is off, knock off the tack and bend it to the right height and tack it again. Since this doesn't need to hold any significant weight, the tacks are all you need to hold it together.
After you finish each piece, don't forget to label them with the tubing size you built it for!
However, this isn't the only way to align the tubes, as you'll see in the next few steps.
Step 5: Joining the Bottom Bracket and Seat Tube
Usually the first step is to join the bottom bracket to the seat tube. I won't go into all the details such as mitering and drilling vent holes. Get the Paterek Manual if you need to find out more about that part of fabrication.
With a big C-clamp and some flat bar stock (not shown), clamp the bottom bracket to the jig table. Then using the appropriate sized tube lifts (also clamped to the jig as shown), line up the seat tube against the bottom bracket over the vent hole. Welder's magnets will hold it place for you to tack the tube. You also might be able to use those big spring clamps (the ones that look like big metal clothespins) to hold the tubes against the lifts.
Of course, before you tack the tube, double-check that the seat tube is parallel to both the jig face and to a straightedge lined up against the face of the bottom bracket.
After you tack it, check for parallelism again.
Step 6: The Alternate Method
The other option for this step is much simpler.
Drill and tap two holes in the jig base and thread in bolts from the bottom. When used with a couple of welder's magnet, this will hold the tube in place for tacking.
In this case, just fine-tune the height of your bolts to get the tube parallel to the jig base and the bottom bracket face.
As in the previous step, the clamp on the bottom bracket is not shown.
Step 7: Another Way to Hold a Tube
Here's another way to hold a tube at a given height that I've used.
Clamp a piece of angle iron to your base, and then clamp the tube to the angle iron upright using a metal spring clamp. You could also use a small C-clamp, if you file the flat end of the C-shaped part of the clamp to have a round profile to fit inside the tube without denting it.
Step 8: Tacking the Head Tube and Down Tube
Again skipping the mitering steps, the head tube and down tube are tacked together as shown in the Paterek manual. If you're building it lugless, this is done free-form by holding the down tube in a Park stand and using some rod or pipe in the head tube to balance it in place.
This step has nothing to do with the jig - I'm just including it for continuity. Refer to the Paterek manual for more information.
Step 9: Pieceing Together the Front Triangle
Now we will join the two halves of the front triangle together. Again, I am skipping the mitering and other steps.
At the front of the jig under where the head tube will end up, drill and tap a set of two holes to hold leveling bolts.
Using the two leveling bolts under the head tube,

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether previously failed glaucoma filtration surgery is a risk factor for filtration failure of subsequent trabeculectomy combined with cataract surgery and to determine the role of adjunctive mitomycin C (MMC) in the secondary glaucoma triple procedure (SGTP) as compared to primary glaucoma triple procedure (PGTP).
Design: A prospective, controlled study that was randomized with respect to assignment to adjunctive MMC and a case-control design with respect to comparisons between SGTP and PGTP was studied.
Participants: The SGTP group consisted of 49 eyes of 49 consecutive patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with a history of glaucoma filtration surgery requiring glaucoma medical therapy and in need of cataract surgery, randomized to adjunctive MMC (SGTP MMC subgroup of 21 eyes) and no adjunctive MMC (SGTP control subgroup of 28 eyes). The PGTP group consisted of 49 PGTP cases closely matched to the SGTP cases with respect to age, race, gender, MMC use, C:D ratio, and systemic diseases.
Intervention: Trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and a small incision (5 x 6 mm), all polymethylmethacrylate posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation with or without adjunctive MMC (0.5 mg/ml for 1 minute), was performed.
Main outcome measures: Surgery failure was defined as the need of an additional intraocular procedure or the need of more than one medication to achieve intraocular pressure control to the target level. Intragroup and intergroup comparisons were made with respect to filtration outcome among the SGTP and PGTP patients.
Results: Without adjunctive MMC, filtration success was significantly less in SGTP than in PGTP (P = 0.03). Adjunctive MMC significantly increased the success rate of SGTP (P = 0.02) but not that of PGTP (P = 0.89) over the average follow-up period of 2 years.
Conclusions: Previously failed glaucoma filtration surgery is a significant risk factor for the filtration failure of combined surgery. Intraoperative use of adjunctive MMC significantly improves the filtration success rate of SGTP.

History of King's Highway 49 (#2):
King's Highway 49 is a minor collector highway which once connected Picton and Prince Edward County with Highway 401 east of Belleville. Only one short section of this highway now remains near Deseronto, because the highway was almost completely downloaded in 1998. Despite the downloading, Highway 49 still forms an important highway link between Prince Edward County and the mainland. Only two other bridges link to Prince Edward County. The other two bridges are located on Highway 62 near Belleville and Highway 33 south of Trenton.
Highway 49 was first established in 1966, when a new highway link was established between Prince Edward County and the mainland. The discontinuous southern section of Highway 41 from Picton to Coles Wharf was renumbered as Highway 49. With the completion of the Quinte Skyway on September 6, 1967, a direct connection between Picton and Highway 401 was put into service. The route of Highway 49 did not change until 1998, when most sections of the highway were lost to downloading. The Ontario Government retained ownership of the Quinte Skyway and the section of Highway 49 lying within the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory near Deseronto. The rest of the highway was downloaded, and is now known as Prince Edward Road 49 and Hastings Road 15. Highway 49 is now only 6.1 km long, and no longer connects to any other provincial highways.
Highway 49 traverses a predominantly rural portion of Eastern Ontario. The only major towns located along the original highway are Picton and Deseronto. Services are available in most communities along the highway. Most sections of Highway 49 are two lanes, but passing lanes appear occasionally along the highway. There are no tolls for vehicles using the Quinte Skyway. The speed limit on Highway 49 is 80 km/h (50 mph), unless posted otherwise. Please visit the Highway 49 Mileage Chart page for a list of mileage reference points along Highway 49.

text: We have proposed a method of simultaneously measuring aerodynamic sound and fluid ow using parallel phaseshifting interferometry (PPSI). PPSI can observe phase of light instantaneously and quantitatively. This method is useful for understanding the aerodynamic sound because PPSI can measure near the source of the aerodynamic sound. However, the components of sound and ow should be separated in order to observe detail near the source of sound inside a region of ow. Therefore, we consider a separation of the component of sound from simultaneously visualized images of sound and ow. In previous research, a spatio-temporal filter was used to extract a component satisfying the wave equation. The ow and the sound are different physical phenomena, and the ow cannot be expressed by the wave equation. Hence, we think that the spatio-temporal filter enables us to separate the component of sound from the simultaneously visualized images. In this paper, we propose a method for separation of ow and sound using spatio-temporal filter in order to visualize the component of the aerodynamic sound near its source. We conducted an experiment of the separation of data measured by PPSI. The results show that the spatio-temporal filter can extract the sound from air-ow except for the sound near objects and boundaries.

Hardness and Conductivity of Die Forged ZYK530 Magnesium Alloy
Keywords:heat treatment, die forged ZYK530 Mg alloy, hardness, conductivity
The relationship among the microstructure, hardness and electrical conductivity of the as-forged ZYK530 Mg alloy after heat treatment was analyzed and studied using a microscope, X-Ray Diffractometer, eddy current conductivity meter, and Vickers microhardness tester, to explore optimum heat treatment process of ZYK530 Mg alloy. The results show that: with the prolongation of holding time, the electrical conductivity and microhardness show the same change trend, both of which show an oscillatory upward trend, and then decrease in an oscillatory downward trend after reaching the peak value. There is a linear positive correlation between the conductivity and the hardness, and the fitting results of the conductivity and hardness are in good agreement with the measured results; combined with the actual production, when the heat-treatment is 480 ℃ × 8 h + 220 ℃ × 3 h, the highest hardness is 79.2 HV, the electroconductivity is 36.2%IACS, and the comprehensive performance is the best, which is the best heat treatment process.

Site Identification - Entrance Sign
Unlike the other standard road signs, this sign is not located within the public road right of way. The Site Identification sign is used at the entrance to a historic site, segment, or interpretive facility, so that the public knows when they have arrived at a place on the national historic trail. These signs will be located at the entrance to the property and because each property is unique, these signs are site specific. This sign can be added to an existing sign (see example above) or customized with images or logos. Each sign will require working directly with the landowner and NTIR office to determine the requirements for this sign.

Emigrant wagons headed for Oregon in the 1840s-1860s tied off their wagons with ropes lashed around trees or held them back with stout logs that locked the wheels inorder to descend this rocky slope on Mt. Hood - named Laurel Hill by early travelers from the resemblance of native leaves to laurel. More...

The Wayfinder can be shown in either landscape or portrait mode. In most cases, it will automatically detect the orientation of the device and adapt the Wayfinder to the current orientation. There are a couple of devices where the orientation needs to be set in order to let GoBright now the correct orientation.
Change the device orientation
In order to change the settings on the device, we'll need to exit kiosk mode using the three magic swipe movements and the pincode within the Wayfinder display profile. When the settings on the device can be accessed navigate through the following menus and options:
- Go to the Settings
- Select the Display option
Depending on the device there are a couple of different options here, we'll cover the most general ones:
- When device is rotated:
This defaults to 'Rotate the contents of the screen' but can be set to the current orientation using the 'Stay in current orientation option'
This defaults to 'Auto' / 'Automatically' / 'Auto-detect' or something that is similar to one of these. The other options are 'landscape' / 'portrait' / 'landscape-flipped' / 'portrait-flipped' which can be set to the correct orientation.
There are likely other options which are named differently than the ones here, consult the manual of the device if you need further support with the orientation.

of the port release
Click on "Add rule" to start the port sharing process, which may take a few minutes.
Step 6: Start Terraria server
As soon as the ports are enabled you can start your Terraria server (In the firewall policies in the Cloud Panel you can see whether the release process is still in progress or already completed under "Status"). The simplest solution for this is to use the batch file named start-server.bat mentioned earlier. So navigate to the Terraria directory and start the batch file and thus also the server by double-clicking on it.
If you have not yet entered important information, such as the difficulty level or the name of the game world, in the configuration file, the command line will now ask you for this information. Then the creation of the server starts, which can take a few minutes depending on the size and seed. If the process was successful, the command prompt will display a success message.
Step 7: Connect to the server
If you or your friends want to connect to the new Terraria server, the following steps are required:
- Start Terraria.
- Click on "Multiplayer".
- Select the option "Join via IP" and an avatar.
- Type the IP address of your server (with :7777 appended for the port).
- Press "Accept".
- Enter the server password, if you have one assigned.
Once the connection to the server is established, your custom Terraria adventure can finally begin!
Make a statement with your own.gg domain and let the games begin. Register your own.gg domain now with IONOS.

Keys are strings, typically enclosed by quotes for any given SDK.
No spaces are allowed in a key.
Separators and identifiers are allowed, such as underscore: 'person_93847'.
A key must be unique within a bucket; if you attempt to
store the same key in a bucket, it will either overwrite the

Are Nordost cables directional?
Yes, Nordost cables are directional. This is especially true for single ended (RCA) interconnects as the shield is connected at the source or output end only.
Which way do directional arrows point on Nordost cables?
The directional arrows always point away from the source. For example, from a CD player to an amplifier, the arrows should point towards the preamplifier or power amplifier. On a speaker cable the arrows would always point towards the loudspeaker
How can cables be directional?
When cables are manufactured they do not have any directionality. However, as they break in, they acquire directionality.
Although the cable signal is an alternating current, small impurities in the conductor act as diodes allowing signal flow to be better in one direction over time. This effect is also called quantum tunneling, which has been observed in experiments over 25 years ago. Regardless of the purity of the metal used, there are still diode effects in all conductors. In addition, the insulation material will change when it is subjected to an electrical field.

A Wind-Tunnel Method for Evaluating the Aerodynamic Noise of Cars 860215
In this paper a test method for measuring the car aerodynamic noise in the Fiat wind tunnel is reported. Through this method measurements of vehicle interior noise in the test section generated by air flow are performed. The separation between interior aerodynamic noise and background noise (fan noise, self generated noise in the tunnel, etc.) is performed by simulation of the last one with loudspeakers without air flow. The present method allows also to separate the shape noise contribution from aspiration wind noise and to localize the most critical acoustical areas into the car. By means of this method it is possible to optimize the car shapes and seals in order to improve the vehicle acoustical comfort.

San Rafael's Davidson Middle School science building wins North Bay top project award
At the rapidly expanding Davidson Middle School at 280 Woodland Ave., the San Rafael City School District needed new modern, flexible space for its forward-thinking science and math program.
Working with a tight budget and schedule, the project team of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects and Jeff Luchen Construction completed a two-story modular classroom building with 10 integrated science labs, six prep rooms, student and staff rest rooms, an electrical and mechanical room, science courtyard and outdoor classroom spaces.
The project was completed in January 2020, creating a sustainable and efficient Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) building with 14,800 square feet of space.
Flexible indoor and outdoor spaces use the building itself as a teaching mechanism by integrating the exposed structural, mechanical and electrical components to promote student interest in building design and technology used in a modern school building.
Eco-friendly features include abundant and energy-efficient lighting and mechanical systems, fresh air circulation, low-flow plumbing systems and drought-tolerant landscaping.
The team's modular design effectively crafted the building's layout to maximize program areas and stay within budget. Materials were selected with sustainability, durability and cost-effectiveness in mind.
To increase interest, the exterior façade design carefully considered color and made use of two types of window treatments and shading systems.
With SIP restrictions, students were only able to occupy the new building for a few months before virtual learning went into effect, but school officials say this facility will be an asset as the staff looks ahead to make decisions around hybrid and in-person learning. The total project cost was $12 million.

Finding Iron In Your Cereal
You can see the Iron inCold Cereal fortified with Iron.
What You Need:
 - 2-3 cups fortified cereal
 - magnet
 - bowl
 - spoon or other utensil
 - water
 - blender (optional)
 - napkin
 - What To Do:
 1. Pour the cereal into the bowl or blender.
 2. Add sufficient water to completely cover the cereal (it's not an exact measurement - you can add as much as you like as iron doesn't dissolve in water)
 3. Mash the cereal with a spoon or mix it with the water using a blender. The more finely ground the cereal is, the easier it will be to get the iron.
 4. Stir the magnet through the crushed cereal. Iron is heavy and will sink, so be sure to pay attention to the bottom of the bowl. If you used a blender, make sure you can get to the particles at the bottom of the jar.
 5. Look for the black 'fuzz' or iron on the magnet. It's easiest to see the iron if you wipe the iron on a white napkin or paper towel. Mmmm Mmm Good :-)

Heart Failure
What is a soft tissue artifact?
A Answers (1)
 - ASCAI answered
 A "soft tissue artifact" may show up on an image produced by a nuclear stress test. During a nuclear stress test you receive an injection of a special radioactive dye that then travels through your blood vessels. A nuclear camera is used to take color-coded pictures of the heart to measure blood flow before, during and after exercise.
 After a stress test, your physician may mention that you have "soft tissue artifact," or "soft tissue attenuation." What this means is that soft tissue, such as breast tissue, is showing up on the image created by the stress test. Soft tissue artifact can give the false appearance of an area of reduced blood flow to the heart.

Sorting optimization for Sawmill stock
On the beginning of production you have sawlogs. On the other end you have timber in several sizes.
When sawmill usually buy sawlogs it has to sort it in some boxes prior to sawing. Number of boxes can be different from sawmill to sawmill. (Of course some technologies allow skip sorting).
So. Let's imagine that you are already sorting logs in some ways, for example with diameter step of 10mm. Then I give you these questions:
1. Is this sorting optimal?
2. For particular timber size... from which box You take sawlog to achieve optimum yield?
Sorting Optimization" module give you answers for this questions.
So, base on:
- real production (timber sizes)
- input sizes of logs
You can answer on questions:
- how should I sort logs optimally, if I need for example 12 boxes?
- I need to produce board with sizes 22x50.... from which box I have to take sawlogs?
As a result you will have:
for defined number of boxes you obtain suggested sorting of logs (4 optimization methods). Of course you can modify sorting as you wish. You can split adjacent boxes, join them or move borders between them.
Then for each timber size you obtain recommended boxes (numbered by priority).
So, you get for example results:
Box1: sawlog diameter from 100 to 102mm
Box2: sawlog diameter from 103 to 110mm
And then:
For timber 20x40 is the best to take sawlogs from box #3, then from box #2 etc.etc.

PGM to OpenSCAD surface
by sawdusty, published
PGM to OpenSCAD surface by sawdusty Apr 17, 2013
Thing Info
4731Views 638Downloads
Report Thing
Summary
This is a quick and (very) simple Python script to read data from an ASCII format PGM (portable gray map) file and convert it to a "surface" data file for OpenSCAD.
You will need Python (written for v2.7), and numpy to run it, but it's quick to convert. You will need OpenSCAD to utilize the output of this script.
Instructions
Unlike a certain other "lithopane" thing, this is not limited to a small image size. However, you must be able to convert your original photo to a PGM file. You can do that quite easily with either IrfanView or with ImageMagick. I'm sure there are a dozen (at least) other tools that can do this too, but you need to make sure the PGM file is ASCII formatted (not binary) and that is has no (0) compression.
Steps:
1) Edit your digital image, then convert to PGM.
2) Run this script with Python 2.7 like this:
python pgm2surf.py myImage.pgm myImageSurf.dat
3) In OpenSCAD, use the "surface" command to import the DAT file, like this:
surface(file = "c:/myCoolStuff/myImageSurf.dat", center = false, convexity = 10);
Notes:
1) The surface is flipped both top to bottom and left to right when you create the surface in OpenSCAD. You can plan accordingly by editing your image in the photo editor before creating the PGM file.
2) There is a "depth" value in this script that reduces the heights of the surface values. I've set it to 0.03 after several trials, but you might want to play with that value, depending on your purpose for the surface. A value of 0.5 yields a surface that has a very high relief from the highest point to the lowest. It might be good if you want to create a mold of the image.
The depth value can be set as the last argument on the command line when calling the script, like this:
python pgm2surf.py myImage.pgm myImageSurf.dat 0.5
3) For a "cookie cutter" type mold, you want to "invert" your photo (create the negative) before creating the PGM file. Try it and see.
4) My apologies to Linux users, the typical python directive is missing from the top of the script. Please add it if you need it.
(BTW, the image example shown above is from a photo taken just after my parents' wedding, 50 years ago. They celebrated their 50th anniversary last week. Happy Anniversary! Now immortalized on the Internet.)
UPDATE:
While trying to get OpenSCAD to generate an STL file from the surface data, I found that it crashes... more often than not. The problem seems to be the number of vertices in the generated surface. I've been successful in generating an STL from a surface as large as 162 x 200 (pixels in the PGM file) but anything large crashes OpenSCAD. YMMV. (Yes, that means the example image I showed is very unrealistic... oops!)

Any tip on how to add a frame and a hanging hole in OpenSCAD? I can't figure it out...
I think the easiest way to add a smooth frame around a surface would be to edit the image before you generated the PGM file. Add a gray border around the image in your photo editor. The darker the gray tone, the higher the frame will be. If you want a thin (light) frame, make it lighter gray. If you added some white circles in the border then you'd have a starting point for drilling mounting holes too. If that doesn't help, then you'll need to learn to use the difference() function in OpenSCAD.
My apologies on the (glacially) slow reply. I think the PGM file might not be in the format recognized by the Python code. That's about the best guess I have without knowing more about your input file and how it was created.
Some programs that generate PGM files will add comments in the beginning of the file, and they might not be handled well. It's no stretch to say that this code would not exit gracefully in that situation.
Is there a public repository for this code, to be able to follow and fork?
No, I haven't thought about adding the code for this to a public repository. I have not had time to work on this again, though some recent interesting activity in Thingiverse has made me want to get back to it.

DRAG Cost is the amount of money by which expected project profit is reduced due to the delay of performing a critical path activity, or other critical path delay factor such as a schedule lag or scheduling constraint. DRAG Cost is the sum of two factors:
- A reduction in a project's expected monetary value due to acceleration premium or delay cost caused by the DRAG of a critical path activity or delay.
- An increase in a project's cost due to the project's indirect costs being extended due to a DRAG amount.
DRAG Cost computation is a useful technique for justifying additional project resources. For example, if an activity's DRAG Cost is $50,000 (based on ten days at $5,000 each), but duration compression could reduce the DRAG to five days through the addition of a resource costing a total of $10,000, the additional resource expense would be more than justified.
Just as DRAG is only found on critical path activities and delays, the same is true of DRAG Cost. DRAG Cost is a key component in computing an activity's "true cost of work".


How fast can a Beagle run?
 Beagles have been used for hunting from centuries and the reason behind this is not else than their running speed.Later they were being used for gaming purposes like dog race.They have been developed by breeders to be smaller in size and faster in speed.Running speed of a dog varies dog to dog.It also depends upon the condition,previous training,health and the circumstances in which his running speed is being measured.Beagles are also thought to be bred with Greyhounds to improve their running abilities.Average running speed for a Beagle is considered to be around 25-30 mph or 40-48 km/h.

The last time I checked, most sugar is really dry (unless it's something like brown sugar). So why is it categorized as "wet"?
Sugar is not really a wet ingredient, it's just treated as one in certain types of baking (i.e. cakes).
When making a cake or other "fluffy" baked good, you want a fairly small amount of gluten to be produced, otherwise you'll get a chewy texture instead, and you definitely don't want a cake to be chewy like bread.
Dissolving sugar in the water inhibits the gluten-forming proteins. It's a method (actually, the method) of adding more liquid to the mix without getting a tough, chewy cake. It is for this reason that sugar is considered a "wet ingredient" - because the process only works properly if you add it with the water, not with the other dry ingredients.
It's even possible for sugar to be a dry and wet ingredient in the same recipe; you might add just enough sugar to the water to get the right texture, and add more to the dry ingredients for further sweetening.
I'm not sure what the context is, but I dug up this article that mentions sugar being a wet ingredient when baking certain items such as cake. A quick summary from the article:
"...the general idea is that Sugar and Water are Best Friends Forever, and they swear that nothing will ever separate them."
I'm guessing basically sugar is used with water (as opposed to being kept undissolved as a solid) so much that this is why it is considered 'wet,' at least in the context the article talks about.
Hope this helps!

Harmonic division
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In geometry, harmonic division of a line segment AB means identifying two points C and D such that AB is divided internally and externally in the same ratio
\frac{CA}{CB} = \frac{DA}{DB}.
In the example shown below, the ratio is two. Specifically, the distance AC is one inch, the distance CB is half an inch, the distance AD is three inches, and the distance BD is 1.5 inches.
Harmonic division of AB by points C and D
Harmonic division of a line segment is reciprocal; if points C and D divide the line segment AB harmonically, the points A and B also divide the line segment CD harmonically. In that case, the ratio is given by
\frac{BC}{BD} = \frac{AC}{AD}
which equals one-third in the example above. (Note that the two ratios are not equal!)
The points A, B, C, D divide the line harmonically as defined above precisely if the cross-ratio of the quadruple (ABCD) is 1.
Harmonic division of a line segment is a special case of Apollonius' definition of the circle.

The Xandabox (based on Raspberry Pi) automatically detects on start-up the "preferred" resolution of the connected monitor (usually, its native resolution). Sometimes, the resolution might not be detected properly. This might happen if you power up your Playbox without a screen connected, or if after a power failure the Playbox starts before the screen has the time to power up and report properly. In this case, the standard VGA resolution of 640×480 is used.
Try rebooting your Playbox, it might be just fine. Also, you can follow this guide here to select the desired resolution of your player automatically on boot.

How do I make the signal list compare measurements made with the detectors used to different limit lines in my MXE EMI Receiver?
You can configure the signal list to compare the measurements made by all three detectors used to a different limit line.
For example, as the default, all three detectors used will be compared to Limit Line #1. You can configure Detector #2 to be compared to Limit Line #2 instead by doing the following:
- Press Meas Setup, Detectors (Measure)
- Press Select Detector, Detector 2
- Press Limit for Delta, Limit 2
- Select OK when asked to confirm the change
If you already have measurement values in the signal list and you would like to update the difference between them and the newly selected limit line do the following:
- Press Meas Setup, More, Limits
- Press More, Update Delta Limit
The signal list will now be comparing the values measured with Detector #2 to Limit Line #2.

2. Cleaning and Washing Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
3. Storing Your Grey Duck Down Jacket Properly
4. Tips for Maintaining the Insulation of Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
5. Repairing and Restoring Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
The Importance of Caring for Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
Your Grey Duck Down jacket is not just a stylish and functional piece of clothing; it is an investment that requires proper care to maintain its performance and longevity. While these jackets are designed to be durable and provide outstanding insulation, neglecting regular care can significantly impact their effectiveness. By following a few simple maintenance tips, you can keep your Grey Duck Down jacket in top condition and enjoy its warmth for years to come.
Cleaning and Washing Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
Proper cleaning is essential to keep your Grey Duck Down jacket performing at its best. Before washing, always refer to the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure you do not damage the jacket. Most down jackets can be safely cleaned in a washing machine using gentle detergents specifically designed for down-filled products. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh chemicals, as they can strip the natural oils from the down and reduce its insulating properties.
It is important to note that frequent washing may not be necessary, as down jackets naturally repel dirt and oils. When in doubt, spot cleaning small stains with a mild soap and warm water mixture is a better alternative. If your jacket requires a full wash, set the machine to a gentle cycle and use cold water. Once washed, allow the jacket to air dry thoroughly, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources as they can cause clumping and damage the down fill.
Storing Your Grey Duck Down Jacket Properly
Proper storage is crucial to maintain the loft and insulation of your Grey Duck Down jacket. When not in use, it is best to store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods, as this can lead to loss of loft and affect its insulating capabilities.
To maximize storage space while maintaining the quality of your jacket, use a breathable storage bag or a large pillowcase. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and promote the growth of mold or mildew. Additionally, store your down jacket in an area where it is protected from pests and rodents that may chew or damage the fabric.
Tips for Maintaining the Insulation of Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
To preserve the loft and insulation of your Grey Duck Down jacket, follow these tips:
1. Avoid excessive compression: When packing or traveling, try not to crush your down jacket for long periods. Instead, loosely stuff it in a breathable storage bag.
2. Regularly shake and fluff: After unpacking or storing your jacket, give it a gentle shake to distribute the down evenly. Fluff the jacket by hand to restore its loft before wearing.
3. Avoid moisture exposure: Down loses its insulating properties when wet. If your jacket gets wet, dry it promptly to prevent clumping and minimize the risk of mold or mildew.
4. Avoid applying pressure on seams: Excessive pressure on the seams can weaken the stitching and cause down leakage. Be mindful while wearing or packing your jacket.
5. Use a down-specific detergent: When washing your jacket, opt for a down-specific detergent to ensure the soap does not damage the filling. Regular detergents can strip natural oils and negatively impact the down's insulation properties.
Repairing and Restoring Your Grey Duck Down Jacket
Over time, wear and tear can occur, causing small rips, tears, or loss of down feathers in your Grey Duck Down jacket. To extend its lifespan and functionality, it is essential to address these issues promptly. Many manufacturers offer repair services, so consider reaching out to them for professional repairs. However, if you prefer a DIY approach, patching small holes with specialized down repair tape or using a needle and thread can be effective solutions.
For larger repairs or extensive damage, it might be best to consult a professional tailor or send your jacket to a reputable repair center. They can replace zippers, repair seams, and restore any lost insulation, ensuring your jacket remains in top condition.
In conclusion, caring for your Grey Duck Down jacket is vital to preserve its quality and functionality. By following the maintenance tips outlined above, cleaning it properly, storing it correctly, and addressing any repairs promptly, you can enjoy the warmth and comfort of your jacket for many outdoor adventures to come. Remember, a well-maintained down jacket will not only keep you snug but also protect your investment in this valuable piece of outerwear..


text: Experimental, analytical, and archaeological evidence is presented to describe the characteristics of thermal alteration in mesolithic assemblages from the northern Netherlands. Experiments, both in the field and in the laboratory, have established the sequence of changes that occur when flint is subjected to heat. Analytical techniques involving the scanning electron microscope and thermoluminescence analysis are used in an attempt to recognize thermal pretreatment and to define the stages in manufacturing in which it was used. The proportions and spatial distributions of thermally-altered artefacts are employed to compare archaeological assemblages and to locate heat sources on occupation floors. In spite of high incidence of heat alteration in the assemblages, there is no conclusive evidence for intentional thermal pretreatment.

À la carte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see À la carte (disambiguation).
À la carte /ɑːləˈkɑrt/[1] is a French language loan phrase meaning "according to the menu", and used
 - in reference to a menu of items priced and ordered separately, i.e. the usual operation of restaurants. This is in contrast to a table d'hôte, at which a menu with limited or no choice is served at a fixed price.
 - to order an item from the menu on its own, e.g. a steak without the potatoes and vegetables is steak à la carte
 - to describe a retail pricing model in which goods or services traditionally bundled together are separated out, putatively giving the consumer greater choice at lower cost. Examples include airline pricing where in-flight drinks or snacks are not complimentary, on-line music purchasing where individual tracks can be bought instead of entire albums, or pay television where individual channels can be ordered rather than a bundle of channels.
The phrase was adopted into English in 1826, predating by a decade the common use of the French language loanword "menu".[2][3]

Definitions for joints in belts
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Joints in Belts
Belt-joints for electric plants where the belts drive dynamos should be made with special care. The least inequality affects the electro-motive force. Butt joints are, generally speaking, the best, where the ends of the belt are placed in contact and laced. Lap-joints are made by overlapping the belt, and unless the belt is carefully tapered so as to preserve uniform strength, the speed of the dynamo will vary and also the electromotive force.

The Japanese do not just dream of perfect ski slopes, they are developing the technology to produce them.
Six Japanese companies have carried out 'extensive research' to provide artificial snow for Japan's skiers when nature fails to fill the need (European patents 440 256 and 440 257).
Existing snow machines only work properly at very low ambient temperatures; otherwise they just produce slush. The new trick is to use granules of polymer, such as polyacrylic acid salts, which absorb a large volume of water. The snow makers then mix the bloated polymer with natural snow, if available, or other artificial snow. Finally they freeze the mixture.
Ice bridges form between the polymer granules and snow crystals to make good snow for skiing. The companies have tried colouring the snow with dyes and adding perfume, so that the snow smells nice as well as looking good.

What's In A Name? Trumeau Mirror
Our trumeau wall mirror designs have been a steady seller for us over the years. The history behind these elegant designs is interesting – A quick search on Wikipedia:
A trumeau mirror is a wall mirror originally manufactured in France in the 18th century. It takes its name from the French word trumeau, which designates the space between windows. In England it is normally known as a "pier glass."
Trumeau mirrors were originally intended to hang on a wall between windows, providing a decorative element and bringing more light to the room. Most antique trumeau mirrors are highly ornate and often gilded.
The mirror is almost always rectangular and sometimes includes a decorative portion at the top, with the mirror below it. Those designed to be placed above a mantelpiece, rather than between windows, could have candles placed in front of the mirror to increase ambient light.
Reproductions of 18th-century trumeau mirrors became popular in the Regency period in the 1950s, when French furniture was popular.


Botanical expedition
Summary
A botanical expedition is a scientific journey or voyage designed to explore the flora of a particular region. The expedition could be specifically designed for exploring the flora, or this could have been a part of studying the natural history of the region. A naturalist or botanist was charged with drawing and describing the flora, collecting specimens of unknown plants in a plant press, and identifying potential economically important plants.[1] On botanical expeditions funded by governments, the plants were often collected by the person in the field, but described and named by a government sponsored scientists at botanical gardens and universities. For example, many of the species collected on the Lewis and Clark Expedition were described and named by Frederick Traugott Pursh.[2]

How Do You Fold A Document That Has Been Laminated?
1 Answers
Arjun Mitra Profile
Arjun Mitra answered
The answer to this question depends on how hard the laminated surface is. If the laminated surface is hard enough for the document to not fold, you have no choice left. You will just have to go about not folding the document or go ahead remove the lamination. Some laminations are soft in texture and can be easily folded. But once they are folded the folds will leave a permanent mark on them which will never go away.
So if you are looking to fold a laminated document then it is advisable not to do so as you could cause harm to it. What you could do is get files or folders or envelops that are bigger in size of the document and you will not have to fold the. Just avoid the idea of folding a document especially if it is an important one.

While prior works on enclosure approach, guarantees the space utilization of a single geometrical area, mostly rectangle, this paper proposes a flexible enclosure tree layout method for partitioning various polygonal shapes that break through the limitation of rectangular constraint. Similar to Treemap techniques, it uses enclosure to divide display space into smaller areas for its sub-hierarchies. The algorithm can partition a polygonal shape or even an arbitrary shape into smaller polygons, rotated rectangles or vertical-horizontal rectangles. The proposed method and implementation algorithms provide an effective interactive visualization tool for partitioning large hierarchical structures within a confined display area with different shapes for real-time applications. We demonstrated the effective of the new method with a case study, an automated evaluation and a usability study. © 2013 ACM.

10 reasons your kids need their cousins growing up
Family gatherings are an important part of growing up, especially if your kids have cousins similar in age.
Most of us remember hanging out with our cousins at family barbecues or we may have even been lucky enough to live close by and even go to school, or be in the same class, as a relative.
In fact, cousins play a vital role in a child's development and social interactions.

Here are 10 reasons why your kids need their cousins….
1. Cousins are your first best friends
Siblings are too – but cousins are like siblings that don't annoy you as much! Plus, they're more like a friend as you can have sleepovers at your cousin's house!
2. You'll always have someone to hang out with at family gatherings
It's nice to have someone to hang out with at Great Aunt May's annual family tea. Family gathering are so much better and less of a chore if your cousins are there when you're younger.
3. It's basically like having more siblings
This is great if you are an only child. If you only have a brother, you may have a female cousin or vice versa. It's like having lots of siblings that you don't have to share all your toys with all of the time!
4. It's easier to make plans with cousins
If your parents are going to visit their siblings then it's easy to make plans for playdates with your cousins.
5. You can share hand-me-downs
If you have a cousin that lives nearby, chances are you'll have clothes for life!

6. You'll always have someone to confide in
Kids are always going to complain about their parents, let's face it. Having a cousin to vent to is always handy, as they will understand more where you're coming from.
7. You're connected for life
Like siblings, cousins are family. You share grandparents, aunts, uncles and other cousins. That's super special.
8. You have more role models
Whether you're the youngest or the oldest child in your family, chances are there will either be someone older than you or younger than you when you have cousins.
Things, like manners, can be learnt from older cousins. Exposure to more people is always a good thing when it comes to learning social cues.

9. You get to reminisce with cousins
Not many people get to see their friends on Christmas Day, but chances are, you'll spend it with your cousins. This way, you make so many personal memories that you can look back on later in life.
10. Cousins love each other unconditionally
Friends often come and go as you grow up, but your cousins will be there from birth until adulthood. There may be bickers but they'll resolve quickly because of those family connections.

Overview of action
Action 3.3, Queensland Cycling Action Plan 2017–2019
Investigate technology solutions to reduce crash risk for vulnerable road users, including cyclists.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads is delivering the Cooperative and Automated Vehicle Initiative (CAVI) to help prepare for the arrival of new vehicle technologies with safety, mobility and environmental benefits on Queensland roads. One component of CAVI is the vulnerable road user pilot which is looking at how new technology applications can benefit vulnerable road user safety including bicycle riders.
In conjunction with the iMove vulnerable road user working committee for Queensland, we conducted a series of workshops with stakeholders to explore technology solutions to reduce the risk of accidents for vulnerable road users such as bicycle riders. Nine projects were shortlisted during this process and they participated in a pitch day in April 2019.
As a result of this process, we entered into a project agreement with iMove and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). The project, to be delivered by QUT, aims to develop a proof of concept system to share critical safety data between vehicles and vulnerable road users. The system is intended to improve driver awareness so they can avoid collisions with people riding bikes that may be visually obscured or overlooked.
If the proof of concept project is successful, our intent is to progress with a future project to test the system with road users and explore incentives that would attract people to use the system.
The QUT project is expected to be complete in March 2021. We are continuing to work with iMove on opportunities for future research and projects that will assist in improving safety of road users.

Finding the Last Element
Many times you want to find the last element of something. Obviously there are many different ways to find that element.
Last Element of an array: PHP
For example you can find the last element of an array with PHP using the end() function.
The Last DOM element with JQuery
You can also find the last DOM element using JQuery. This is handy for finding things like the last <li> or the last <div>. You can find the last item in JQuery using .last()
$( "li" ).last().css( "background-color", "red" );
Last element in CSS
You can use structural pseudo-classes in CSS to advance selectors allowing you to target specific elements based on their position in the document hierarchy. In the CSS you can choose the HTML element you want to add a psuedo-class to. To select the last element use ":last-child". This is a CSS3 specification so it might not work in all browsers. Here is an example.

INVESTIGATION OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE-FREE ACTIVE STATIC DISCHARGING TECHNIQUE FOR FIXED AND ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT.
Final rept. for May-Dec 63,
DYNASCIENCES CORP FORT WASHINGTON PA
Pagination or Media Count:
An active electrostatic discharger was designed and constructed for the elimination of electrostatic charges from aircraft. This discharger maintains the charge potential of any type of aircraft at a very low level. The radio frequency interference generated by the corona discharge through the active discharger is very much lower than the interference generated by discharge from an aircraft equipped with passive dischargers. Corona discharge probes for use with active electrostatic dischargers were studied with regard to their current and R. F. interference characteristics. Characteristics of numerous probe designs were evaluated through wind tunnel tests. A reduction of 40 to 60 db. dependent upon frequence and conditions in the RFI noise due to static charge buildup in helicopters can be anticipated by using active discharging techniques. Author

WHAT IS FOUNDERGUARD®?
FOUNDERGUARD is a clinically proven preventative supplement for feed induced laminitis and founder. It has been formulated to ensure delivery of the active drug to the hind gut and proven to control the build up of lactic acid in the hind gut. A small daily dose of the palatable granules allows high grain diets to be fed safely.
- Horses on high grain diets e.g. gallopers, pacers, eventers and show hacks
- Horses grazing lush pastures particularly during spring and autumn when sugar levels in pasture are high
- Young horses being prepared for sales e.g. high grain/low exercise animals
- Horses that have suffered laminitis or founder in the past
- Horses undergoing a change in diet
- Horses with seedy toe, white line separation or poor-quality hooves
WHY CHOOSE FOUNDERGUARD?
The ONLY proven prevention for founder - FOUNDERGUARD has been scientifically developed specifically for the prevention of grain induced founder in horses and is the only product available to prevent this problem.
Prevents build-up of lactic acid – When excess carbohydrates are consumed, bacteria multiply rapidly in the hindgut. FOUNDERGUARD controls the build-up of lactic acid from this fermentation process, preventing damage to the gut lining and therefore laminitis.
- FOUNDERGUARD can be added to the daily feed as an effective daily management tool of horses at risk of founder and low-grade laminitis.
Scientifically formulated for performance – Helps prevent the onset of this silent 'performance killer' and help the performance horse reach their full potential.
